Eclectic Hotel near Grand Place
The hotel is located less than five minutes from the Central Train Station and quite near to the Grand Place. I loved the location. My room was clean. The bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet for sleeping. I chose the hotel for the previous qualities and the price which seemed reasonable compared to more brand name hotels in the area. If I had it to do over, I think I would splurge on the brand name. My one meter square shower was quite tight and I was always bumping into the shower taps - either turning off the water, turning it on full blast, or sending the temperature jumping. Because I was staying for a week, I would have appreciated a dresser with drawers. There was an armoire but I was not travelling with things to be hung. I ended up living out of my suitcase. The decor is very Middle Eastern (which seemed odd in Belgium) and the hotel used the old style system of keys which needed to be given to the front desk whenever you were leaving. The lobby and stairwells are filled with all kinds of bric-a-brac. If I was carrying a backpack, I would worry that I would be knocking over the decorative items. The towels and bedding were clean though a little dated. I guess I am spoiled with North American hotels. There is an elevator but each floor bounces up and down a few steps whether you are walking or dealing with roller bags. In short nothing wrong with the hotel but I should have treated myself a bit more.
